Has anyone heard it all? I've only listened to Criminals, and was wondering if the album is just more of the same from the first album, or if there was any substantial difference/ the overall quality of it???

I loved the first album, but I'm not sure that a second album of the same would be as satisfying.

No massive leap at all, but got some fine tunes on there. It feels less cohesive than Waited... but it soon filters into place after a few listens. If anything, it sounds less polished than before which can make it all sound chaotic. I like it a lot though.

but this leaked today. i'm a ridiculously big jofo fan so naturally i couldn't wait (i was refreshing torrent sites every day for the last month) and i've listened through about three times now. initial thoughts:

very good. it's much faster/shorter than waited up, which makes them seem even more frantic. half the songs i already knew from gigs/bootlegs and those came out good, real good. except every cloakroom ever which is frustrating because the demo sounded HUGE but on this version you struggle to hear alexei in the mix. the guitar sounds amazing, though.
